Good Vibes, Good Life: How Self-Love Is the Key to Unlocking Your Greatness

by Vex King

In simple terms, greatness is about becoming the greatest version of yourself. It’s about breaking the imaginary boundaries that hold you captive in a life you believe you have to settle for, and touching the realms of the unthinkable. The greatness mentality means living a life without limits, where there are infinite possibilities.

Stop trying to impress people. Impress yourself. Stretch yourself. Test yourself. Be the best version of you that you can be.

commit to a better you right now. My aim is to help you become better than the person you were yesterday, every day, in each and every way, for the rest of your life.

true self-love is when you appreciate where you are and who you are, regardless of any transformation you aspire to.

Improving yourself and your life is also self-love, because it means you recognize that you deserve more than settling for mediocrity.

significant aspect of self-love is acceptance: being content with who you are, as you are. As a result, self-love is empowerment and liberation.

Self-love is the balance between accepting yourself as you are while knowing you deserve better, and then working towards it.

Change the way you think, feel, speak and act, and you begin to change your world.

The more ‘real’ or solid something is to you, the closer you are to it vibrationally. This is why when you truly believe in something and act as if it were already true, you increase the chances of it coming to you in your physical reality.

Based on the principle of the Law of Vibration, to receive good vibes we must project good vibes.

Everything you eat and drink is important, as it affects your vibration and reality. Think about it: how can you feel good if you don’t ingest good foods and good fluids?

Being thankful is one of the simplest, and yet most powerful, habits you can cultivate.

When practising gratitude, imagine how different your life would be without that particular thing you’re showing thanks for. It’ll produce strong feelings and emotions. And this is how you can get into a powerful state of gratitude.

Every second you spend thinking about the next moment, you avoid embracing the present. Ensure your life isn’t lived entirely in your head.

Nothing is more valuable than the present moment because you can never get it back.

We make life all about a future that exists only in our imagination and completely miss what’s happening in front of us.

Once I committed myself to 30 consecutive days of focused meditation, I began to feel a difference.

Life is about balance. It’s about spreading kindness, but it’s also about not letting anyone take that kindness away from you.

You can’t tell someone that their feelings are invalid. You have to try to seek understanding first. Identify why they feel the way they do and then see what you can do to make it better.

The right partner won’t complete you. You’re already whole. Instead, the right partner will extend you. They’ll catalyse your growth and the expansion of your consciousness. It’s like finding love in someone who encourages you to find the love in yourself, which you keep giving back.

Notice the people who celebrate your achievements, wish you a happy birthday, get excited about your goals and encourage you to do better without losing your sense of self. Those are the people worth keeping around.

all of your friends teach you something valuable in life. They each have a role to play. Some have temporary positions, others are permanent. It’s fine to outgrow people and move on with your life. You must always focus on your own life, expanding it and growing as an individual. You can only do great things for others in the world if you genuinely feel joyful, loving and accomplished.

We shouldn’t conceal the fact that sometimes it’s our own family members who are the most toxic people in our lives.

It’s okay to move on from people who aren’t giving you back the same energy. Whether they’re friends, family or lovers, don’t be afraid to let go of relationships that no longer serve a purpose in your life. Dead weight will weigh you down and feel exhausting to carry around.

If you don’t prove that you’re serious about what you want to do, you can’t expect other people to be serious about it either.

It’s vital to remember that you can’t change others unless they want to change themselves. You can influence them and facilitate change, but you can’t make them change. And they’ll only decide to change when they have an incentive – such as a better life or a better relationship with you. If they don’t identify a problem with their way of being, they won’t be motivated to change.

You acquire haters by being a somebody.

Dip yourself into a pool of self-love and you’ll never drown from other people’s judgements about you.

If you keep trying to satisfy others, you’ll never keep up. In the end, you’ll satisfy neither them nor yourself.

Some negative people are allergic to positivity. Be so positive that they can’t stand being near you.

If I asked you to name all the things you love, how long would it take for you to name yourself?

This question serves as a reminder that many of us neglect self-love.

We create our own financial pressures by buying things we don’t need, just so we can impress people who care little for our wellbeing.

We change ourselves to fit in, rather than changing the world by being ourselves.

Transform your own world and you’ll hone the skills needed to change the world around you.

People tend to enjoy being around, and fall in love with, those who gracefully accept themselves. For this reason, self-love is a vital element in building strong relationships.

Ignore what everyone else is doing. Your life isn’t about everyone else; it’s about you. Instead of focusing on their path, pay attention to your own. That’s where your journey is taking place.

Outdoing yourself is your daily task, and that’s where your comparison should be directed: on the person you were yesterday. If you want to be the greatest version of yourself, you have to keep the focus on your own life and goals.

Physical beauty does nothing but satisfy physical needs. Only those with real substance can satisfy the hearts, minds and souls of others.

Your individuality is a blessing, not a burden. If you try to be like everyone else, your life will be no greater than theirs. By following the crowd, you’ll become a part of it and fail to stand out. By travelling the same road as them, you won’t get the chance to see anything different from what they see.

Start to question your actions. Why do you do what you do, and choose what you choose?

Are you doing what you really think is right, or are you following the crowd? If you discover your choices are frequently dictated by the views of others, you know you’re relinquishing control over your life.

Don’t let your individuality get taken away from you, just so you can fit in with the rest of society. Embrace your uniqueness. Are you considered weird? Awesome! This is only because most people are living inside an imaginary box and you don’t fit in it;

Every mistake you make can help you to improve as a person. But to make use of the lesson within each of your mistakes, you must first learn to let them go. Accept what has happened. Breathe it in, breathe it out and let it go. You’re only human and you’re allowed to continue with life, regardless of the magnitude of the mistake.

Don’t punish yourself for what you’ve done, and instead focus on what you can do better.

If you don’t believe in something, you’ll rarely see it in your life.

A negative thought such as You can’t do it will discourage you from taking steps towards achieving a goal. Obviously, you’re then less likely to achieve the goal.

A positive thought such as You can do it will allow you to try – giving you a greater chance of achieving your goal.

If you can’t change a situation, change your perception of it. That’s where your personal power lies. Either be controlled – or be in control.

When a badevent happens, take a pause – and then observe your thoughts. This is making the unconscious mind conscious; replacing thought with awareness. Only once you notice your thoughts can you make a choice as to how
